[Help] Installing xp display driver

[bobmac]

I have xp sp2 installed. Up to now I haven't bothered about a display driver. I just accepted that xp had recognised my monitor which appeared to work OK.

I recently purchased a flat screen monitor (Viewsonic 702b) and attempted to install the driver (from the cd that came with the monitor). I accessed the Device Manager and noticed that the monitor driver was set to VGA standard. When I attempted to install a driver I got a message informing me that there was no driver installed. I attempted to install the driver from the cd by setting the path to the driver folder. XP seemed to perform a search then displayed a message informing me that there was not enough information to install the driver.

I then returned to my original monitor and tried to install the correct driver for it (LG 710B) with the same result.

I then downloaded the 'latest' drivers from the manufacturers and tried again with the same result.

Has anyone any idea how I can overcome this problem.

Monitors shouldn't need drivers...

What video card are you using?
